They were, weren't they?

Yeah, they were wanting him booked, but it's not his game, obviously.

He's not got the physique to do that.

But that's the overriding thing that I'm going to leave this stadium and think about tonight.

It wasn't about... For all the quality on the show, there were scruffy City goals.

You'll take them any day of the week.

But we talk about all the qualities that Silva and De Bruyne have, but it's about the work rate they put in today.

You know, the pressing and pressing never stopped.

And the only way I could see them not winning the title this year would be if those two were to go out for any long extended period with an injury, because they are the two main men in this team.

Stop them.

They get a card right away, then you're on your toes, you'd have to bring someone else to do the job.

Those two are that special.

One of the reasons it makes them special, they're all great players, they work out.

You put a bear trap in front of them, they'll work it out.

They'll skip over it.

The get-rounder problem you present them with, that's what makes them great.

Black spot for City today was the equaliser they conceded just before half-time.

I suppose the regret for United will be that they didn't do this more often, Gary.

Yep, it was one apiece at half-time, but City went on to win it with that set-piece, and Thierry Henry had the perfect view of it all on the gantry this afternoon.

Evening to you, Thierry.
